    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Doctor X – in Blu-ray

    As most are aware, very few two-color Technicolor films survive, and those that do are usually not based upon original elements. "Doctor X," which has been restored from a unique studio nitrate print, is no exception. Preserved in the analogue world a number of years ago, it has now received a...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Isle of the Dead – in Blu-ray

    After his time with David Selznick, Val Lewton, one of the finest creators of atmospheric horror, began a career at RKO, where he created a series of delicate little horror films that has never been equalled.

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Crossfire – in Blu-ray

    Warner Archive is releasing Crossfire, a 1947 RKO production, directed by Edward Dmytryk, in their normal boring quality, which means virtually perfect. Lush black and white, with a patina of film grain give the impression that one is viewing a nitrate 35mm print. The only digital oddity that...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ A Tale of Two Cities – in Blu-ray

    A Tale of Two Cities, based upon Dicken's work, would have made a perfect production for David O. Selznick, to be distributed by M-G-M. Two of the class acts in the motion picture trade. The nice thing, and it's obvious through every frame, is that it is a Selznick production, and his last...

    Never been a Wheeler and Woolsey fan. I've always felt more attuned to "the boys," Chaplin and Keaton. Or if teams, Laurel & Hardy, or the Marx Bros. Never did I ever believe that a Wheeler and Woolsey film would be restored. Never did I ever expect a Wheeler and Woolsey film to arrive on...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Flying Leathernecks -- in Blu-ray

    I could probably end these few words right here by telling you that Warner Archive's Flying Leathernecks, a 1951 RKO production, is perfect in every respect. But I won't do that. If for no other reason than I find that boring. So let's talk about oddities. The film opens with an RKO logo. In...

    Warner Archive is doing it again. Readers continue to complain that they don't go back and release enough old, black & white films. And this is the result. They've gone back to 1943 for a Tommy Dorsey musical, directed by Norman Taurog, with a musical number (I Got Rhythm) directed by Busby...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Strike Up the Band – in Blu-ray

    Strike Up the Band, directed by Busby Berkeley, is a wonderfully entertaining 1940 Paul Whiteman musical, from WB's M-G-M catalog. As a Warner Archive release, it's also a perfect Blu-ray representation of the film. It's also a musical oddly stuck in a very strange time period. It went into...
